Denton A. Cooley Pavilion, Basketball training facility at University of Texas, Austin, United States.
The Denton A. Cooley Pavilion is a basketball training facility at the University of Texas in Austin with separate practice courts for men's and women's teams. The building is divided across two levels and provides strength training areas and hydrotherapy rooms alongside the court spaces.
The facility opened in 2003 and is named after Dr. Denton Cooley, a University of Texas basketball player who performed the first heart transplant in the United States. This dual legacy connects athletic achievement with groundbreaking medical innovation.
The training center incorporates academic resources alongside athletic facilities, reflecting the university's commitment to student-athlete education and sports development.
You can view the facility from outside or through group tours on training days during the university season. It is best to check ahead about public access since it is primarily used for official team training activities.
Each team has its own dedicated 9,000-square-foot practice space with seven basket stations that can shift between full-court and half-court configurations. These flexible setups allow coaches to practice specific game situations in detail.
